Did they ever. I hate that, too. Eps I and II are fine, now this load of merde. I'm not from Calgary, so I don't have any particular raison to hate les Francophones across la bord, but come on! Don't start plastering crappy tacked-on Francais on the last DVD release, when all others have been unmolested! It should be une regulation that the covers are double-sided, reversible things, so that we Anglophones get something that matches up with every other English-speaking North American release (i.e. les E. U.)...

There's also something vaguely ironic about the discs being made in Mexico, too; well, maybe 'ironic' is wrong, but it's something amusing.

The thing that worries me most about getting hi-res art is that it will be a serious bitch to match the metallic inks used on the official Ep I and II releases. Actually, I don't think it can be done, exactly. A nice, close shade of brown, maybe, but upon closer inspection it's always gonna look funny. Sigh.
